You have one year from the purchase date to use your Flex tokens. Since Flex is a prepay model, tokens do not roll over, but you can purchase more at any time. Autodesk will notify you when your token balance is running low.
For products and services charged per day
When a user opens and signs in to an Autodesk product included with Flex, they will be charged a daily rate per product once every 24 hours. Users will not be charged for using multiple versions or reopening the product within the 24-hour period.
For example, Priscilla opens and signs in to AutoCAD from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Monday. Her team is charged 7 tokens. She opens AutoCAD from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Tuesday. Her team is charged 7 tokens at 8 a.m. She closes AutoCAD at 5 p.m. and does not open it again for the week. She will only be charged for two days of usage use.
For products and services charged per result
Users will be charged a variable rate based on the type of result (for example, rendering an image in Revit).
View the rates for each product and service available with Flex.
Yes. Admins can have users on a mix of subscriptions and Flex.
When a user is assigned to both subscriptions and Flex, subscriptions will be used before tokens. For example, if Priscilla is assigned to Flex and a subscription of AutoCAD, she will use her subscription when she accesses AutoCAD and will not use any tokens. If she accesses Revit without a subscription, she will use tokens.
